Background on GreenOak’s Approach to Logistics in Spain
In the logistics sector, GreenOak has the capital resources to acquire assets representing the full spectrum of asset types and leases, including:
• Sale & Leaseback from Owner/Operators
• Fully leased buildings; buildings with vacancy
• Loans backed by logistics assets
• Land for build-to-suits for logistics tenants
• Mixed portfolios of different types of commercial leased assets
Where appropriate, GreenOak may seek to form joint ventures to invest alongside existing owners. It may also acquire portfolios in the logistic sector, as a key focus for the firm is to deploy capital to acquire logistics assets in Spain.
GreenOak has assembled a dedicated team of advisors who have already begun to work together to acquire and manage the initial platform of five assets.
During their careers, the leadership of GreenOak have acquired, developed and managed several million square meters of logistics and high-grade warehouse assets in Europe and the US.
John Carrafiell, a Founding Partner of GreenOak commented:
“Logistics is an asset class where scale and expertise makes a difference. We are focused on Spain – it’s where we have our strongest conviction. Because of our dedicated resources for investments in the sector, our team on the ground and our proprietary approach to completing due diligence, GreenOak can close individual asset transactions quickly, as only a sector specialist can – whether the investment is €5 million or €100 million.”
